SUMMARY:Chand Sirimanne - The wings of the bird: combining concentration and awareness
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\n\nThe wings of the bird: Combining concentration (samādhi) and awareness (sati) – using different types of meditative practices. \n\n\n\n In Buddhism sati (mindfulness) is part and parcel of every type of meditative practice\, conduct and world view rather than a specific\, disengaged technique. It is also a positive mindset that we seek to cultivate rather than ordinary awareness that we use in every type of mental\, verbal and physical action including negative ones. After all\, one needs to be very mindful in carrying out criminal activities so as not to get caught! \n\n\n\nThe suttas describe this positive mindfulness and focused attention as the wings of a bird. The bird cannot fly with only one wing\, and it is well developed concentration that sharpens and strengthens mindfulness helping to cut through delusion. There is also nothing secular about a high level of concentration – we need it for doing any activity well. From driving\, cooking to learning a language. While focusing on the breath is excellent\, not everyone finds it easy to sustain their attention for any length of time especially at the start. Buddha himself is said to have stated that it is not for everyone\, and he recommended specific meditation types to suit different personalities. \n\n\n\nBuddhism has a range of meditative objects and subjects designed to improve levels of samādhi suitable for those who struggle with keeping their attention on the breath. \n\n\n\nWe welcome you to join us in this meditation & discussion series guided by Chand Sirimanne\, where we can learn some different techniques to improve our practice. We will have an opportunity to discuss & share our practice in a safe and supportive environment. \n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\nChand R. Sirimanne was born in Sri Lanka and migrated to Australia in 1990. She has worked as a freelance writer and an ESL instructor for over three decades mainly in Australia but also in Canada and Sri Lanka. Chand currently works as a writer/researcher\, and she has written and translated several articles and works on Buddhism. She has a MA in Applied Linguistics from Macquarie University and a PhD from the Department of Studies in Religion\, University of Sydney. Chand’s doctoral thesis was on The evolving relevance and therapeutic value of the ethico-psychological perspective of the mind-body complex and meditation in Theravāda Buddhism. She has been practising meditation since 2001. \n\n\n\nInfo\n\n\n\nView live on Zoom from 7.25pm on the night. Talks include meditation and generally conclude at 9pm.

SUMMARY:Bhante Pandit - Agency: how action shapes perception in the arising of experience
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\n\nThis topic is a continuation of the exploration of Dependent Origination. Previously we looked at how the mind picks up one thing at a time and reacts to it. But we Sapiens are not just reaction machines – we initiate and perpetuate actions deliberately. This too has a cascade effect in consciousness.Do not miss this opportunity to join us for this powerful and insightful teaching of Venerable Pandit Bhikkhu on Thursday 7 April\, 2022 -7.30pm. \n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\nPandit Bhikkhu: While searching aimlessly for something to read in a quiet library in rural New Zealand Pandit came across a book on Buddhism. Inspired to investigate further he devoured what few books on the topic he could find\, and then took off to start some monastery stays and short retreats. Before leaving NZ and heading back to his native England he took some longer retreats\, including 10 days at Te Moata retreat centre in the Coromandel Peninsula of NZ with Steven Smith teaching Mahasi style meditation. Following the Forest temples in the lineage of Luang Phor Chah for a few years\, Pandit entered Ratanagiri Monastery in Newcastle\, Northern UK in 1994 as an Anagarika (novice). Six months there\, and then six months further in Amaravati while Ajahn Sumedho was abbot\, convinced him to ordain as a monk. He headed off to Thailand in late 1996 and ordained as a Buddhist monk at Wat Luang Phor Sodh in Rajaburi Province. Four years later he moved to Wat Paknam\, Bhasicharoen in order to attend the monastic university\, gaining a degree in psychology. \n\n\n\nHaving had experience in meditation styles of  Mahasi Sayadaw\, Ajahn Chah\, Dhammakaya\, and some Tibetan\, Pandit Bhikkhu claims no lineage other than Buddhism. His own approach uses reflection on the six senses to hold the mind in empty alert awareness. But there are various techniques that are useful for people at different times in their practise. Just so long as you keep making an effort\, with the right goal in mind\, progress will be made. \n\n\n\nHis interests\, besides nuclear power\, vertical axis wind turbines and the Electric Universe theory\, include psychology\, faerie tales\, and other mystic religious traditions. \n\n\n\n\nInfo\n\n\n\nView live on Zoom from 7.25pm on the night. Talks include meditation and generally conclude at 9pm. Download iCal calendar for the Zoom event. \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 985 1050 0274Passcode: 645945

SUMMARY:Meditation & Discussion Session guided by Chand Sirimanne - How to Strengthen Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\n\nWhat can we do to strengthen mindfulness\, to improve its quality and broaden its scope? \n\n\n\nToday mindfulness\, or rather secular mindfulness\, is seen as a one size fits all technique that can help anyone with a range of issues. While even a very basic mindfulness practice can have positive outcomes. \n\n\n\nBuddhism offers numerous ways to strengthen and improve its quality and power. It offers a proactive way to improve the mind – slowly diminishing the Three Toxins – greed\, hatred and delusion\, and replacing them with generosity\, kindness and understanding of reality. \n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\nChand R. Sirimanne was born in Sri Lanka and migrated to Australia in 1990. She has worked as a freelance writer and an ESL instructor for over three decades mainly in Australia but also in Canada and Sri Lanka. Chand currently works as a writer/researcher\, and she has written and translated several articles and works on Buddhism.
